I'm here....I would support Bri's guess and say the F6U Pirate, or as the crews would call it, the "groundhog".
|
Thanks mate.
Brian - you have a green traffic light. :ok: |
That is the one. The Vought F6U Pirate.
The first production F6U-1 performed its initial flight on 29 June 1949, and 20 of the aircraft were provided to VX-3, an operational evaluation squadron based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.The judgment from the evaluation was that the Pirate was unacceptable for operational use. Naval aviators disparagingly called the F6U the "groundhog". On 30 October 1950, BuAer informed Vought of the Navy's opinion of the Pirate in terms both bureaucratic and scathing: "The F6U-1 had proven so sub-marginal in performance that combat utilization is not feasible. |
|
Can we have a difficult one please?
:eek::eek: |
Anything to do with an APU?
|
Bri has gone rotary wing with this one.
|
Yes, I had concluded the same. However, that is not a skid.
Methinks it's an aerial. |
|
Boeing Vertol V44 / H21?
|
LM is correct.:ok: The Flying Banana. Your control.
|
Thanks Bri - nice one. :ok:

Good morning Bri.
Is this just to bide the time or a challenge? |
Sorry, my over-sight. I'll delete the challenge.
|
Hang on mate, I'm just going back to the rules for a moment.....
